Japan’s Panasonic Corp will sell its loss-making semiconductor business to Taiwan’s Nuvoton Technology, Nikkei Asian Review reported on Thursday.
Panasonic will also divest three Japanese chipmaking facilities of TowerJazz Panasonic Semiconductor, a joint venture with Israel’s Tower Semiconductor, according to the report.
The ongoing U.S.-China tariff war has impacted chipmakers already grappling with oversupply.
Panasonic did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
